Self-driving in Sichuan and Tibet is a very hard and happy thing. You will encounter some hardships and beautiful scenery.
I found some guides about self-driving in Sichuan and Tibet, including the Sichuan-Tibet Line G318 National Highway self-driving tour guide. The following content is from the internal publication of Si Youpu, the travel section, for your reference.
The most beautiful travel destination in China
The most beautiful travel destination in Tibet
I have always been a person who leaves as soon as I say it, so this time is no exception
Two girls’ self-driving trip on the G318 National Highway Sichuan-Tibet Line is definitely a well-intentioned note
It is said that the 318 National Highway is the self-driving dream of all boys, but in fact, I personally think it is not difficult for two girls to drive on it. Due to time reasons, the destination of our trip is Daocheng Aden, which is the filming location of the movie "Passing Through Your World"
First of all, this is my second time driving on National Highway 318. The first time is because In winter, Zheduo Mountain was closed and it snowed heavily, so I returned and spent four days in Kangding. In the next note, I will write in detail about the amazing scenic spots near Kangding
Day 1 We started from Chengdu. I really couldn’t get up, so the planned departure at 8am was postponed to 12 noon
After lunch, drive through Chengdu – Ya’an – take National Highway 318 – pass Erlang Mountain – to Kangding
Suggestions I stayed in Kangding. It’s really dangerous to drive at night because it’s too dark and there are so many trucks. When I went there for the first time, I read other people’s guides and they all said that I stayed in Xinduqiao, so I drove the car for the first time. When I arrived in Xinduqiao, it was really the most painful experience in my life. I really don’t recommend staying in Xinduqiao because the accommodation conditions are really bad, nothing else, it’s mainly cold and high-reflective. Everyone feels like they can’t hold on. Wearing down jackets and quilts, it’s hard not to fall asleep. Mental state is really important when traveling by car, so if you can sleep well, everything will be good. Plus, there really isn’t anything good to eat in Xinduqiao. The further you go, the better. I don’t have any, so I’ll stay and eat something good when I get to Kangding
Recommend Kangding delicacies
Check out the snacks you must eat when traveling
The delicacies you must eat when traveling< /p>
Chicken in Sour Soup
Look for Dianping and you must eat the copper pot rice. It is so delicious that two people almost fainted after eating it
Shiitake Mushroom Meatballs
It ranks first in Dianping and it’s delicious, mainly because the dipping sauce is so delicious that you can try it
It took us about 7 hours to drive to Kangding. After all, we are girls along the way. It will take a while to stop and take pictures
Day 2: I got up very early in the morning because I wanted to go all the way to Daocheng. Around 8:30, I set off from Kangding to Xinduqiao and could stop to take pictures. I didn’t stop myself. To get down, you can search on Baidu. There is a very famous photography paradise in Xinduqiao. It’s just a highway about 300 meters away. Because my friend has severe hypertension and I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, I drove all the way from Kangding to Daocheng by myself. It took about 11 minutes. Halfway through the hour, it was so beautiful that words can’t describe the self-driving experience. It was a very different experience. Although I was a little tired, I really marveled at the magic of nature. One second it rained, then it suddenly hailed, and then two seconds later it was sunny. It’s not an exaggeration at all. I really feel like I can catch the lightning right in front of me. Anyway, it’s really beautiful and I can’t take any photos. We arrived in Daocheng around 7pm. In fact, in the later stage, due to the extremely severe high reflectivity, oxygen was useless. We had to hurry up. I went to the inn to find a doctor, so I drove pretty fast. The road conditions were a lot good and the fastest time was 160. The closer I got to Daocheng, the fewer buses there were, so it was considered safe. The inn I stayed in was owned by a friend, so it was considered safe. Very convenient
Day3: I was too tired the day before and the next day I mainly planned to play in Daocheng. I suggest you take a packet of headache powder if you have high fever. We asked a doctor to come to the hotel and install an oxygen bed. If you feel uncomfortable in the room, I had high fever just by inhaling oxygen. In fact, I feel that it is mostly an adaptation process of the body. When we woke up the next day, we basically no longer had high fever. We woke up naturally after falling asleep and went out for lunch with my brother in the hotel. The food was local food. I don’t recommend it. It’s not that delicious. The arrangement for the afternoon is horse riding
I must say that it is really cool and refreshing. I must go horse riding. It feels different from the previous horse riding. Before, at the racecourse, there were people watching in a fixed area. But riding a horse in Daocheng is really like riding a horse on the grassland. When choosing a horse, I asked the groom if he could control the horse if it strayed or was disobedient. As a result, the groom replied to me, "Who is riding on the horse when a horse bullies me?" Ma just listens to anyone and can't control anyone except himself?
In fact, when I think back on it, I'm quite brave.
Notes on horseback riding: Don't be afraid. Be fierce. The voice must not be too quiet. Be bold and let the horse run. When the horse runs, you must stand. Get up or you will be in trouble the next day
After riding the horse, you can wander around for a while. After dinner, you can go to the square where the locals go to experience Tibetan square dancing
Day 4: Aden got up early the next morning and prepared to drive to Aden. I must bring my own food and typed a reminder on the blackboard because there is really nothing to eat in the scenic spot in Aden. Just follow the navigation and go to the ticket office of the Aden scenic spot. Park the car and buy the ticket before going to the scenic spot. The bus recommends that you prepare motion sickness pills because the local masters are really not ordinary in driving up the mountain. Fortunately, I have never fainted when I was so old. I feel like I will vomit when I go down the mountain. If you have time, I recommend staying in Aden for 2- On the 3rd day, we went there on the same day and did not go to many scenic spots on the same day. But luckily we got to see the living Buddha. I am a Buddhist, so I feel very lucky. The scenery is quite beautiful, except that the bus down the mountain was too uncomfortable.< /p>
Day5: This must be said to be Xingyicuo/ It is really super beautiful. It is not recommended to drive there by yourself because it has not been developed yet. You may not be able to find it by driving. You can ask the hotel to help you book a taxi. The driver will play for a day
The altitude of Xingyicuo is almost 5,000, but the beach is the coldest beach I have ever seen in my life. But it is really beautiful and magical. It is magical along the way, like in a science fiction movie. There will be places where aliens will rush out with laser guns to abduct people on earth. This is my favorite part of the road along the way. I can’t take a photo of it, so you can only experience it by yourself
Day6: The sixth day is also The most tiring day was because I had to rush back to Chengdu to attend a wedding, so I woke up at 8 a.m. and set off without washing my face. I drove for 19 hours. There was a traffic jam along the way, and there was heavy snow in the mountains. The visibility was really zero. I arrived in Chengdu at 3 a.m. niccolo The hotel is a successful conclusion to our 318 self-driving trip
Notes:
1 Be sure to prepare medicine: cold medicine, headache powder, glucose, rhodiola rosea
Eat Rhodiola rosea a day in advance and take one pill a day at night before going to bed/If you feel a little uncomfortable with glucose, just drink it. It doesn’t matter how much you drink./Headache powder will cause headaches and drowsiness due to altitude sickness. Take a pack of headache powder before going to bed and you will be fine the next day. Good
2 You must buy oxygen bottles in advance. Don’t inhale oxygen until you feel particularly uncomfortable. Although oxygen bottles are basically useless, you still need to prepare them
3 It is recommended to use gasoline. We drove the diesel version, thinking it would be more powerful, but there were too many trucks on the Sichuan-Tibet line, so it was really scary to fill up with gas. The queues would go to outer space, but we jumped in line every time, after all, girls Easy to talk
4 Choosing the right car is really important. After we drove there, the car also felt high. I was confused about this statement at first, but it is true. Plus the oil quality on the plateau is not good. It’s so good that the most obvious feeling when the car has various problems is that sometimes when you press the accelerator to the bottom, you can reach a speed of up to 50%.
5 The reason why the 318 is dangerous in many aspects is that you should not overtake unless it is absolutely necessary. The single-row road caused by overtaking is already narrow. There are many large trucks and overtaking is really dangerous. Many car accidents along the way are caused by overtaking. Since you are driving by yourself and you want to experience the beautiful scenery and feelings on the way, there is no need to rush for that hour
< p>6 Be sure to bring food because sometimes it lasts 7/8 hours and you really don’t have anything to eat in the middle of the trip. You have to bring delicious food and water—————————— ——————————————
ps: Everyone along the way looked at me and my friend with frightened eyes. They probably thought that two girls could drive to Tibet. It’s incredible to walk in the direction, and the way we dress is considered weird among the people entering Tibet, hahaha... Girls should look beautiful in everything they do
Final summary
p>Self-driving is not difficult and the Sichuan-Tibet line is not that scary
You must first take the first step
After taking the first step, you will find that everything is easy It’s not that difficult
People and things are all the same
As long as you want to do something, just do it happily
Good night?
